## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_tools",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why search_tools is rated Low

Search and discovery functions that retrieve metadata about available capabilities are Read operations with minimal risk. The deprecation status and incomplete description lower impact further. No side effects, data modification, code execution, destructive actions, or financial operations are evident from the available information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool is explicitly marked as '[Deprecated: use' with incomplete description, indicating it is a search/discovery function."

## Use case

AI agents call search_tools to retrieve information from Qverisai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Qverisai:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_tools": {}
  }
}
```
